J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 2017 Oct;10(10):40-42. Epub 2017 Oct 1.

Abstract

Granulomatosis with polyangitis, formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a multi-system vasculitis that has a variable clinical presentation. Although uncommon, cutaneous symptoms can be the initial presenting symptom of granulomatosis with polyangitis. We present an unusual case of pyoderma gangrenosum followed by a diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangitis. We also provide a review of current literature on therapeutic options.

Keywords: Pyoderma gangrenosum; Wegener’s granulomatosis; granulomatosis with polyangitis; vasculitis.
